Evaluate the performance of directional microphone systems in binaural (bimodal or bilateral) cochlear implant users
Primary Objective: Investigate whether early valganciclovir treatment of children with SNHL of * 20 dB, unilateral or bilateral, and a confirmed congenital CMV infection can prevent deterioration of the hearing loss at follow-up (age 18 * 22 months…
To investigate the cost-effectiveness of day-case cochlear implantation compared to inpatient cochlear implantation and the effect of both methods on quality of life.
Our expectation that the EDLI group may positively benefit from CI comes from a small number of studies, due possibly to the very small size of this implantee population worldwide. Despite a delay between the onset of deafness and the implantation,…
Primary research questions:1. Does tinnitusspecific- behavioural exposure-treatment (T-BET) decrease tinnitus-related fear, tinnitus-severity and enhance recovery, when compared to a masking-therapy with use of personalised on-ear masking-devices,…
1. To determine the benefit of a CI in the functionally deaf ear of patients with asymmetrical hearing loss with moderate to severe hearing loss in their best ear in terms of speech performance (in quiet and noise) and localization 2. To determine…
The objectives are to evaluate the degree of bilateral benefit gained from having a second implant with respect to speech perception, spatial hearing, and listening effort.
There are four main objectives in this research project, belonging to two different parts of the study. Part 1 comprises objectives 1 and 2:1. Determine the electrode discrimination abilities of prelingually deafened adult CI users in order to…
This research project has 2 main goals and can therefore be divided into 2 parts: - The aim of part (A) is to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the daily-life experiences of CI-patients who do or do not wear a contralateral hearing aid.…
The objective of this study is to develop and test a DSL-protocol which will focus on proper use of hearing-aids, and will also provide patients (and their significant others) with specific skills to improve the use of the senses and communication.…
To evaluate the effectiveness of bilateral implantation over unilateral implantation in children with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. Furthermore with this study we will investigate whether simultaneous bilateral implantation is…

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of hearing-aid noise reduction on the perception of normal hearing listener, in terms of intelligibility, listening effort, noise annoyance, speech naturalness and overall preference. Secondly, the…
The objective of the Simbici project is to evaluate the effect of bilateral cochlear implantation compared to unilateral cochlear implantation in children, in the domains of primary auditive capacities, language development and social-emotional…
Primary Objective: Investigate whether early valganciclovir treatment of children with SNHL of >= 20 dB, unilateral or bilateral, and a confirmed congenital CMV infection can prevent deterioration of the hearing loss at 1 year follow-up.…
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between hearing impairment and various aspects of live, such as work, psychosocial health, quality of life and use of health care. The results will yield more insight into the role of hearing loss…
The aim of this study is to determine the association between pre- and post-operative residual hearing in cochlear implant patients and the intracochear electrode position.
The basic safety of the surgical procedure and the DACS actuator as well as the basic efficacy of the DACS were already shown in the DACS Chronic Clinical Trial (see protocol). The safety of the C-DACS ID receiver/stimulator, which replaces the…
Primary objective The primary objective of the study is the evaluation of the therapeutic benefit of three repeated dose intratympanic AM 101 injections in comparison to placebo in the treatment of persistent acute inner ear tinnitus following acute…
1) Compare a group of bilateral users to a unilateral control group (between-subject design)2) Compare unilateral use to bilateral use after sequential implantation (within-subject design)3) Compare simultaneous bilateral implantation to sequential…
